The term “empath” comes from empathy, which is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others.
Empathy is the main trait of empaths but psychic empaths they take it to the next level. They take on others’ feelings as their own. This can be a struggle for many empaths when surrounded by lots of people. When they are around love and peace, their bodies incorporate it and flourish.
Psychic empaths are also known to be highly sensitive and intuitive people. They feel everything and absorb other people’s emotions like sponges! They know when someone's lying, being dishonest or pretending to be something they're not.
I spent most of my life thinking there is something wrong with me until my psychic gifts came online and I began feeling emotions so deeply, even on many occasions reading people's minds. Here are a few ways you can know for sure if you're a psychic empath:
1. Extreme Empathy
The most noticeable sign of empaths is that they have unlimited empathy. Empaths can sense and feel emotions as if they’re part of their own experience. They are known to be very caring, good listeners, and supportive of others. You feel the pain of the world as if you're carrying it on your shoulders.
2. Highly Sensitive
Noises, lights, smells, and energies, empaths feel them all and their senses are always heightened. They feel everything, to the extreme! Empaths are also often told they are too emotionally sensitive since they get their feelings easily hurt.
3. Introverted
Empaths require much more alone time. That’s because their nervous system may go into overload if there is too much going on at once. And for that reason, many empaths tend to stay at home and dislike being in larger groups of people.
4. Absorbers Other Peoples’ Energy
Emotionally speaking, empaths are affected by disharmony in the world. They feel the heartache of others, are aware of the negative energy in the room, and feel great sadness for horrific tragedies. They absorb negative emotions, such as anger or anxiety, which can be very exhausting. Your energy can become bogged down and make you feel bad for days after so it's important to cleanse your energy everyday. Here's a link with instructions on how to do that.
5. Good Listener
Psychic empaths carry a skill where they listen with their whole body. They truly make the other person feel heard and comfortable enough to share their deepest thoughts and feelings. They are experts at holding space and often want to be healers or therapists.
6. Highly Intuitive
Another trait of empaths is that they are highly intuitive. For them, it’s crucial to develop their intuition and follow it. Especially, when it comes to listening to their gut feelings about people.
7. Can Become Overwhelmed In Intimate Relationships
Intimate relationships can be a real struggle for empaths. Since they absorb all energies, it can be quite exhausting. It can cause empaths to feel anxious, overwhelmed, and struggle without personal space.
8. Walking Lie Detectors
Empaths are known to be walking lie detectors. Since their intuition is heightened, they know when people lie. They might not know exactly what a person is hiding, but they get a gut feeling that helps guide them to the truth!
9. Mood swings
Mood swings are quite common among empaths. They can go from high to low in a minute. However, mood swings are often a result of absorbing other people’s emotions, rather than the feelings they carry themselves. As a result, many empaths feel confused by their own feelings and how they developed.
10. Loves to Spend Time In Nature
Everyday life can sometimes become too much for empaths. That’s why they love to escape into nature. Nature grounds and nourish empaths, and is often the place they feel most at home!

For 30 years I was told I was mentally ill and I would never be able to function without anti depressants for my severe anxiety and depression. I spent my life trying to figure out “what was wrong with me” until one day at 32 I went through a profound and life changing spiritual awakening.
My psychic gifts came online and I learned that my anxiety and depression was not a sickness but a symptom of being too open and sensitive and not caring enough for my energetic health. I was then able to cure my life long anxiety and depression because I understood myself spiritually. I learned that there's nothing wrong with us. We are just highly sensitive and gifted.
In this 45 minute video course I share everything I have learned in my 35 years as an empath and 5 years as a psychic medium on how to not only survive but also thrive as an empath and deal with the high intensity emotions and energy we feel on a daily basis.
I cover tips, tricks and tools on how to deal with being an empath and how to use your gifts to not only help yourself but to be of service to others as well.
